"It is what it is..." The only response that Shannon Taylor feels comfortable with describing her music. She would rather pose the question to the listener to decide. It's a distinctive style that doesn't exactly have a perfect fit into any particular genre. Hints of Rock, Country, and Pop interpreted with original chord styles and song structure are what define Shannon Taylor's music.
The diversity of the influences is derived from the vast exposure that has come at the price of constantly changing scenery. Having lived in such different places as New York City to California to small towns and cities in the south, the Midwest, and a Caribbean island in the Bahamas has shaped who she is as a person and what her music has become.
Whether it is a solo acoustic gig or full band show, Shannon Taylor draws you in with her presence, energy and emotion on stage that surpasses the stereotypes of the normal "Singer/Songwriter" acts.
